It had been a month since the destruction of Halo. Chief, Cortana, and Y/n had made it back to Earth and told the brass everything that happened. Now they were prepping for an award reception.

Y/n had been given new armor and he was on his way to see the Chief. As he boarded the tram, another person rushed in as the doors shut.

Johnson: Couldn't even hold the door for me?

Johnson: Couldn't even hold the door for me?

Y/n: (sarcastically) Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am. Want me to take your hat and coat too?

Johnson: You've been spending too much time with them new ODSTs, haven't you?

Y/n: Tell you what? When you finally give me a straight answer on how the hell you got off Halo, I'll submit to any and all other questions you got.

Johnson: Never gonna happen.

The cart stopped and they got on an elevator, going downward. Johnson glances at Y/n, noticing he's on edge.

Johnson: Take a breath, will ya?

Y/n: Just... nervous. Not every day you meet Lord Hood.

Johnson: (chuckles) Won't argue there. Besides, Chief'll probably give you your binky when you start freaking out.

Y/n: Up. Yours.

The elevator door opens, and Y/n and Johnson step out.

Master Gunnery Sergeant: If your shields go down, find some cover, wait for the meter to read fully charged.

Johnson: That, or he can hide behind me. You done with our boy here, Master Gunns? I don't see any training wheels.

Master Gunnery Sergeant: His armor's working fine, Johnson, so shut your chili-hole.

Y/n then sees Chief exit the shield-testing station in his new Mark VI armor.

Y/n: Chief!

Y/n: Chief!

Y/n moves forward as they grasp forearms and pat each other's backs.

Chief: Good to see you too, Y/n.
